exactly. i've been using it too. and so far not a problem. and i don't know what Fernandez means by "as we saw a few months back"; all i've found out from negetive posts about bc.i was the users fault like using tor, not having 2FA, having keylogger ....
I think the problems Fernandez was talking about was the reused R problems blockchain wallet had, check this thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=581411.msg6354731#msg6354731They have fixed it now but i still see a lot of posts about bc wallet hacks, then agin any wallet will get hacked with weak passwords and no 2fa ect.

It's normal and helps you separate your addresses. Also if you keep your coins on multiple devices you'll need to install wallets there. For instance I have a secondary wallet on my phone.
Blockchain.info solves that as well. Same wallet across your phone desktop tablet laptop any device that has a web browser can access it quite well and there is a good app for iPhone an android as well. Plus no need to sync 40gb of the blockchain Blockchain.info is also quite risky as we saw a few months back. It is not a good practice to use it storage. If you need a quick access to make some payment by all means use it, but to keep your coins secure use an offline wallet. I've used it for 2 years and zero problems. I think its the only web wallet I would trust. I use it primarely and don't use any cold storage wallets. I refrain from keeping things on exchanges but I do keep sometimes up to 1btc right before I am going to sell. You were lucky then. You missed the k problem which happened in the last couple of months. There are lots of complaints about how they have only one dev and that they don't follow sound practices to cut cost. Best to avoid them.

Is it standard for one person to have several bitcoin wallets?
It's good practice. You can split your stash and minimize loss if you somehow lose the key or if someone got your keys. Make sure to save a hard copy. And use a good, random password with symbols for each. Write them down.

There are no rules set in stone to dictate how many wallets or addresses you should use. I like to spread my risk, and use several wallet providers for different things. You do not want to lose ALL your coins in one hack, do you? I even make sure that I do not use online wallets for storing huge amounts of coins at any given time. {I have set my own levels and when they are reached, I would send the excess to cold storage} So use as many wallets or addresses as you need, but keep the balance low.

If you are to use them for gambling or such related purposes, then "yes", it would be a great idea to have several bitcoin addresses to divide and store them in small pieces (and instead make paper wallets and get them out), so that you might be able to overcome your "greed" if it ever becomes a hurdle in hodling your coins, not waiting and throwing them towards wrong side and getting nothing out of it. Gave this advice to not let you put all your balls in their court for them to run away with your BTC.

Most users have one or two wallets max but some have more so that their transactions can't be tracked or they use exchanger websites to hide the transaction that goes in and out of their wallet. They do it for their security. Xapo, Blockchain, Coinbase are few of them which are trustworthy.

You can create as many wallets as you want on blockchain.info https://blockchain.info/wallet/new. Each wallet will have a unique identifier, and you can log in the one that you want to spend the bitcoin in it.

Separate wallets each for a specific purpose can be useful... but I would probably just boil it down to cold vs hot storage. You can always make new addresses in any wallet.

~~~ There was an accident which the developer accidentally changed the 'K' value used for private key and thus it was insecure. This showed that blockchain.info couldn't even take sometime to test out their update before applying it and risked the funds of thousands of user. No one could have prevented that except blockchain.info themselves.
exactly. i've been using it too. and so far not a problem. and i don't know what Fernandez means by "as we saw a few months back"; all i've found out from negetive posts about bc.i was the users fault like using tor, not having 2FA, having keylogger ....

I highly recommend you to move your coins from that Xapo. You don't have access to private keys, that means, if they stop their service or ran away, you will loose your money. Use wallets like Multibit, Electrum or GreenAddress. If you can't use desktop/mobile wallets, use Blockchain.info

Yeah it's a good idea, like having a wallet to go out with and do groceries and whatnot, then a main wallet to store your main stack.

Yes. You should have at least 2; one, the "hot" wallet, where you use for everyday spendings. Only have a small amount of bitcoins in this wallet. The other one every bitcoin user should have is the cold storage, or the offline wallet. This is where you store most of your bitcoins and hodl. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
